Where does your water come from? How does it taste?

I never drink water from the sink, I don't think they are clean, I will boil it before I drink it.

Where I was before they actually treat the water and clean it before it goes through the taps. Do they not do that where your from?

Our water here comes from a reservoir through the mains. Tap water isn't too pleasant to drink probably due to the purifying chemicals that are in it. We use three water filters and by the time it has gone through the third, is is more acceptable in taste to drink. _Derek

It would probably be a good idea to get a filter but by the time I factor in all the costs associated with the two hour drive into town it seems like a lot of money. lol I'll just have to put up with the taste for now.
What country do you live in Derek?

I filter my drinking water with a reverse osmosis system and I filter my shower water with a copper filter. I even filter the water I feed my plants! At one of my homes the tap water seriously smells like sewer water. I do not drink any tap water.

Does the mud affect the taste or just make it gritty? I'm sure some sort of filter would help that.

I am satisfied with the taste of my water. I think the water I drink has a good quality and I hope it will remain the same.

In the winter I live in South Texas near McAllen, where there is no natural drinking water. South Texas is a desert with only one water source, namely the Rio Grande River, which also serves as the border between US and Mexico. The Rio Grande is large river with many tributaries in several States. The river empty's into the Atlantic ocean. Pollution is rife in the Rio Grande and many thousands drink the water, so it must be cleaned and purified before being bottled and sold for drinking water. The resultant water tastes very good, and makes great tea. I buy a 5 gallon jug for .75 cents.
